Stringing Is an Art.
Unlike other sports, lacrosse is unique because of stringing. A single string added to a pocket can positively or negatively affect performance — making the pocket a place of craft, not just function.
Lacrosse stringing is one of the oldest art forms traceable to North America. The ingenuity, creativity, and dedication to the craft have been passed down for centuries. StringDex is our commitment to preserving and growing that knowledge for the modern game.

Common questions about lacrosse stringing.
In the US, restringing a lacrosse head typically ranges from $20 to $60, excluding supplies. Pricing varies based on the stringer’s expertise and pocket style. At Stringers Society, we charge $40 for men’s and women’s pockets and $45 for goalie heads. Book a service here.
Defenders typically lean towards a high lacrosse pocket. A higher pocket provides better hold during checks and ground balls while maintaining the control needed for outlet passes. Check our high pocket guide for a full walkthrough.
First choose your top string style — 9 diamond, triangle, Chenango, or hidden are popular choices. Each creates a different feel at the top of the pocket. Follow our top string tutorial series for detailed guidance on each style.
